Root Canal Therapy

Tooth pain can stop you in your tracks, but our dentists are here to help! We provide gentle, personalized root canal therapy in Scottsdale, PA, that relieves discomfort, removes infection, and saves your natural tooth. Modern root canals are efficient, pain-free, and designed to restore your smile’s comfort and strength.

Giving Your Tooth a Second Chance

Inside every tooth lies a small area called the pulp chamber, which houses nerves and blood vessels that keep the tooth healthy. When bacteria enter through a deep cavity, crack, or dental injury, the pulp can become infected. That’s when our dentists step in with root canal therapy to remove the infection and restore your tooth.

Our team tailors each procedure to your comfort level. We use advanced technology and a gentle touch to ensure your experience is smooth from start to finish, so you can relax knowing your smile is in expert hands.

 

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy can stop tooth pain and protect your smile and overall health. Here are some of the benefits of root canal therapy in Scottsdale, PA.

Once we remove the infection, throbbing pain and pressure disappear. Most patients feel immediate relief and are surprised by how comfortable the process is.

Saves Natural Teeth

Our dentists in Scottsdale, PA, focus on preserving your real tooth whenever possible. A root canal keeps your natural structure intact. No extraction, no implants, no gaps!

Frequently Asked Questions

A root canal is a common and effective treatment to remove infection from a tooth, and recovery is usually quick, often comparable to a standard filling. Many patients report feeling minimal discomfort afterward. During the procedure, your endodontist or dental specialist will thoroughly clean and seal the tooth to protect it from further infection.

The procedure typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the canals and the tooth’s location. Most patients can return to work or drive themselves home immediately after the appointment.

Here are some general guidelines to care for your tooth as it heals:

  • Manage soreness — Once the numbness wears off, mild tenderness or jaw fatigue is normal for a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen, can help. If stronger medication is prescribed, follow instructions carefully and have someone drive you if needed.
  • Eating — You can eat once numbness subsides, but avoid sticky, hard, or crunchy foods, especially if you have a temporary crown.
  • Oral hygiene — Continue brushing and flossing your teeth, being gentle around the treated area.
  • Follow-up care — Return to your dentist for a permanent restoration or crown if recommended to protect the treated tooth and restore full function.

Following these steps helps ensure a smooth recovery and long-lasting results for your tooth.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

If your tooth feels “off,” it might be time to see our dentists in Scottsdale, PA. Common signs you may need a root canal include:

  • Persistent or severe tooth pain
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
  • Pain when chewing or touching the tooth
  • Swelling or tenderness in the gums
  • A small bump or pimple on the gums
  • Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
  • A bad taste in your mouth that won’t go away

If you notice any of these symptoms, contact us right away. Acting early helps us treat the infection before it spreads and keeps your natural tooth healthy.

What Happens During Root Canal Treatment?

  • Consultation and Numbing — We start by numbing the area completely so you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout your visit.
  • Infection Removal and Disinfection — Our dentist then creates a small opening in the tooth, removes the infected pulp, and thoroughly cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth.
  • Seal and Restore — Once the area is sealed, we restore strength and function by placing a custom dental crown or filling.

We design each treatment to meet your needs so your restored tooth looks natural and feels strong for years to come.

They're very understanding of those with extreme anxiety & help you have a comfortable experirience.

Dr. Randy and the staff are awesome. They were so patient with me and my insurance hiccups (which got resolved thankfully). I learned SO much about my teeth. I first started going about 2 months before 1st covid shut downs. After about 2 years I finally was about to get my dental issues all in order. I truly can't say enough how appreciative I am for the doctor and staff. They're also very understanding of those with extreme anxiety and help you have a comfortable experience. I've recommended Fay West to several friends who all went and also had a very pleasant experience.
